    Dish receiver on a non interruptible power supply.

    Arghhh, I am so frustrated with the H3 timers situation

    This really isn't a guide issue - if you go on the website of the channel and look at their schedule, they will show you the actual start times for each show - history, discovery, and science channels regularly start at 10:02, 10:04, etc. and the guide I guess can only show 10:00, 10:05, etc. (5...

    So, my H3 was fine and dandy until this afternoon 6pm central, I set a timer last night to record 184 Animal Planet "Tanked: Tank Madness" I don't know exactly what happened or why, but I was checking the guide and setting new timers, exited the guide to skip commercials, went back to the guide...

    Search feature

    I do similar, on my H3, in the guide, I press info, then select showtimes if that option is available, if not, I press search, 0. most of the time it will find it if I have already recorded it - the ones it doesn't find that I have recorded are due to the guide info changing...

    Search feature

    that sounds like the guide-related issues to me... imo, nothing wrong with the UI and other stuff you mentioned
